Facebook leaked data shows it tracks users across internet, knows when you ordered pizza

Facebook's recent data breach has brought to light the company's ongoing practice of tracking user data across the Internet. A user has now highlighted the same through a series of screenshots showing just how deep this activity tracking runs.

Hundreds of millions of Facebook users were recently the victims of a large-scale data breach. The attack exploited user data including phone numbers, email IDs, photos and more. A new Twitter thread now explains that there is much more data that Facebook collects from a user, which might now be out in the open for the data breach victims. The information has been shared in a series of tweets by Twitter user Zamaan Qureshi. Qureshi decided to download his Facebook data after learning that he was a part of the data breach. It was then that some revelations around Facebook’s tracking activities were made. While gathering his data from the social media website, Qureshi checked a folder titled “your_off_facebook_activity.” The Twitter user found that Facebook was in fact following much of his internet activities.
